I must state that it is humbling for me to fellowship with other "Brothers in Alpha", within this region, that have the same respect and admiration for Mark Tillman. I believe Brother Tillman will set a very high standard for all that endeavor to follow in his forward steps. Therefore, I whole heartedly support Brother Mark Tillman for Midwestern Regional Vice President." Bro. John Randle - 10/6/2006
